About the Recipe

I love a good stir-fry because it ticks all the boxes for the ideal weeknight dinner. It delivers in flavor, simplicity, and a healthy balance of protein and veggies.

But the key to an insanely good stir-fry is the sauce. In this case, diced chicken and vibrant veggies are coated in a rich, sweet, and savory sauce – basically all the flavors and textures you want to experience in a stir-fry!

Then all you need to do is whip up some rice for a well-rounded, easy dinner recipe the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 0.5 cup chicken broth

  • 0.5 cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

  • 2 tablespoon dry sherry (optional - this isn't required, it's just an extra flavor-boost if you have it)

  • 2 tablespoon honey

  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 teaspoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

  • 2 tablespoon arrowroot powder

Chicken Stir Fry

  • 4 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped

  • 2 small carrot thinly sliced

  • 4 cups broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 small yellow onion chopped

  • 2 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

  • 8 garlic cloves minced

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 2 green onion sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, dry sherry, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and arrowroot powder. Set aside.

  2. In a large skillet or wok on medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken in a flat layer. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove the chicken to a plate.

  3. Leaving any juices in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil along with the red bell pepper, onion, carrot, and broccoli. Cook the vegetables until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Add the chicken back to the pan with the minced ginger and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
